After playing this game for a mere two hours and COMPLETING the campaing, I have to say that I cannot reccomend this game to anyone in good conscience. Firstly, the graphics are atrocious. Secondly, this is not a hunting game, this is a first person,"kill everything you see regardless of what it is" type of game. Thirdly, with bad voice acting, a minimal at best storyline, and a grand total of 4 usable weapons, it can be concluded that this game is simply not worth 30 dollars. This game is worth, at most, half of its actual price, especially considering the campaing takes just two hours to complete. I have heard positive things about Cabela's Pro Hunts, so explore that option, but not this one.

This game feels more like an arcade blast-away-all-the-annoying-animals game than an actual hunt. As one who played the original Cabela's Dangerous Hunts, I was disappointed in the lack of any free style hunt, purchaseable weaponry/clothing/tools, and the lack of variety in how the animals act toward you. The predators become relatively predictable, and your character can become nearly immortal just by dodging every single lion that jumps at you like it's no big deal. Not very realistic. Not very pretty. Not all that fun. Not a game one should buy.

Its as if they tried to mix call of duty with a hunting game but excluded almost everything that makes a hunting game other than animals. Rolling to avoid damage, rail shooter segments, horde mode, bad AI, and actually using a deagle for "hunting". Paid 30 dollars for a game that felt really ham fisted and I hope you avoid the same fate.

Welcome to Cabela's Dangerous hunts 2013,First there is no real co-op online as stated. Only local split screen.During your short stay in Africa you will kill thousands and thousands of lions and wild cats because of their infinite spawns. You will regulary get scratched by wild life with little to no effect. You will have to slide long slopes because every cliff edge will crumple under your feets. The local wild life will use cheap scare tactics like jumping in and out of your view every 5 minutes or so.

There are mandatory "flash back" every 2 or 3 levels to change the theme from Africa to northern America for snow effects and to change to wolfes. Animals seems to come in waves of 4-5 and are not scared of your gun even if you just murdered to whole pack before their eyes. You will also have to save your brother life by sniping several dozens or so of animals trying to eat him whenever you are apart.

You will also get numerous "bullet time" with X-Ray vision to snipe the heart or brain of the predators and the only way to avoid attacks usually consist to roll left or right when they leap. Whenever the sneak up behind you, you enter a slow-mo shoot their heart quick mode.

Numerous bugs will also be encountered like animal going through wall or jumping off cliffs.

Several uninterresting other modes are included.Save your money for another hunting game.

Horrible rendition of hunting experience: bizarre unethical kill all attitude towards unrealisticly behaving animals that seem to attack you for no reason in huge packs wave after wave. Style is arcade animal killing instead of hunting experience. Cant pick hunting gear and some of the weapons are unbelievable for a serious hunter.

Campaign lasts about an hour to an experienced gamer. Kind of expected a game like one of the old ones, a mix of hunting with danger. This game is just horde control clicking. Be prepared to fight wolves, lions, hyenas, and like 2 boss battles. Not worth it AT ALL!!!!!

I purchased this game for $30 (don't do that); it is not worth $30, even without the bugs, but it is quite fun. If you are a hunter game kind of person, this is a must but not for $30 and not with the voice lag and cut-scene doodoo I dealt with.

I laughed a lot at this game, but unfortunately not in a good way. It makes the worst hunting simulator I've ever experienced. You'll start the game off following Dad and Brother through some ugly woods, trying to track a bear that's been giving you trouble. You'll get attacked by unrealistic wolves, have a cut-scene fight with your whiny brother, and eventually watch a melodramatic moment of a bear attack. Of course, not before you learn the hotkey for some bizarre Xray vision they called "Hunter's Eye," or something along those lines. The next chapter leads you through this wild ride through Africa that gave me so much secondhand embarrassment that I called it quits then and there. I couldn't handle the absurdity of it. Honestly, if you're looking for a good giggle, you should Youtube the gameplay to see what I'm talking about.I like the idea of having an actual plotline, as opposed to other hunting games in the past that simply teach you the trigger button and leave you to your own devices. It's just that the entire gameplay, from the controls all the way to the unimaginitive ambiance, makes it so poorly mediocre that I even wonder why I'm taking the time to tell you what I liked about it. The dislike heavily outweighed everything else. At least, it was on sale when it was purchased. Ugh, those graphics, though.

Menus have improved over the older Cabela games. Aiming feels jumpy and uncontrollable. So far every "hunt" seems to involve responding to an attack by an animal or group of animals. Basically, they still don't seem to have a clue what hunting might actually be like and even less understanding of the animals they're putting you up against. I'd avoid spending money on this and any of the other Cabela games.

I bought this game expecting a hunting game but ended up with Call of Duty with animals. Hunting is choosing your area and tracking an animal. This is a endless onslaught of lions and rhinos. I honestly do not like the game. -1/10

This game is MUCH more then a hunting game! I played the dangerous hunts on PS2 (which rocked), but this game's blown My mind, I'd pay $60 bucks for this & it's on sale for $22! It controls like butter, looks good in any graphical settings (turn textures up at least) & has party modes to play with your friends in split screen Co-Op or taking turns. The single player game is a FAST paced & fun Adventure game that feels less like hunting & more like BEING hunted & trying to survive! Buy this game NOW if you like adventure games or shooters.
